WD Passport not visible in Windows 11

I recently replaced my Dell laptop with a HP laptop with Windows 11. The Dell was running Windows 8 or 10. I cannot find WD Passport listed in file explorer. What happened to it? I cannot access any of my files stored on it through applications or stand alone.

 

A driver for WD passport compatible with windows 10

Hi Donna,



Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for posting your query.



Let’s try installing the WD passport driver in compatibility mode and check if this helps. I suggest you to install the drivers supplied by the manufacturer any disc or USB which came along with the WD passport drive.

• 
  Right-click on the setup file of the driver and select Properties.
  
• 
  Select Compatibility tab.
  
• 
  Check Run this program in Compatibility mode.
  
• 
  Let the driver install and then check the functionality.
  

You can also visit the below link and try updating the driver and check.

Facing Challenges to get WD passport detected with Windows 10 Pro packed Dell 5510 Workstation.

Hi

Greetings of the day

(To whom it may concern)

I'm using WD Passport 2TB (WDBYFT0020BBK-0B) with Windows 7 OS in HP laptop (15N260TX), similarly tried to access the same (WD Passport) with some other laptops which packed with Win 10 or Win 7 in result got success, but couldn't able
to detect in Dell Precision 5510 I've pushed all necessary recommended windows updates to my 5510 and tried various methods recommended in web but still facing the same challenge.

Wish to make a point noticed, which may help to solve this challenge.

When WD Passport plugged into the USB port of 5510 machine for the very first time I got no notification sound of device plugged/unplugged, usually when we introduce a new device to a machine it'll install it's required driver software
which makes the device accessible by computer, but in our case it not happened, so i believed it may be the origin of the challenge (but when I plug a pen drive it's working fine after the completion of usual proceedings) Now trying to find a driver for the
HDD but received none.

Then i've checked the device manager USB ports when I plugged the HDD but no traces found similarly checked below the disk drives section the same result (no traces) so I've gone for the diskpart to list the volumes mounted in computer
surprisingly even there not found HDD so similarly tried third party tools (Mini Partition, Aomei, Paragon) but same result no traces found.

Kindly help me at your earliest possible to find the relevant answers and all suggestions are most welcome.

Thanks & Regards
